RE: Gonna bust my track cherry
Honestly - first time ever at a strip in a ~475 rwhp car that weighs 3100 lbs and has an IRS. What kind of time would be decent? 12 flat? I am not execting anything terrific.

lol Ed, if you run a 13.5 or higher on your first run, your giving me your car.
But, than I'd have to sell it because it would be too much to insure....
Anyway good luck man, I hope you break 12.5 for the day onyour first time out, that'd be a good accomplishment considering your on crap rubber.

I'm guessing mid to high 12's. Maybe even a 12.4 if you're lucky.
Who knows.. maybe you're "the chosen one" and manage to get atleast 12-flat on the first try, anythings possible LoL

Even if you botch the 60' something terrible, you ought to be able to make up for alot of it on the other end of the track....I'm going to go with a high 12 (12.8ish) on the first few passes and then you should be able to get into the low-low 12s once you get a feel for the track conditions. Its hard to push a car with your rwhp much harder than that on run-flats without getting loose.
